we have duplicated files and it's easy to forget when compiling new libs... the project files shoud take care of copying the correct dynamic libraries from wherever they are

Research direction
Inspect the duplicated files under exports and the project files that currently copy libraries from them. Trace how libraries are compiled and selected from libs/* across the supported platforms, then verify that project builds use the source library locations directly and no longer depend on exports. Confirm that newly compiled libraries are picked up without a second copy.
